Boeing Frederickson is in a nice dry spot. If you don't count the dip****s shooting at cops.
At least they got one of them last night. He is cooling off in the morgue.
Still one running around and I for one hope that he took at least one bullet.

Weather sucks for working outside, especially when guy's like us are limited to the driveway.
We have been looking for a house and found a place in Eatonville with property, a shop, a horse barn and a bunch of out buildings that we really want!

I have a 2 car garage here at this house but it is packed full and I have 11 vehicles in the driveway.....hehe

That's a good thing, these storms are really messing up travel arrangements.

It is only delaying me a week, not a bad thing IMO.

In other news: I was going to drain oil and replace the pan gasket on one of my Civic's. Well the drain plug is stripped, so I need to order a tap and die for that. Will have to wait until I return.

That sucks!

I had a car like that I was working on so I used a topsider oil changer to get the oil out then took the pan off and replaced it with a new one. I thought about going the tap and die route but didn't want the next owners to have to deal with non-stock pan bolt. Silly I know.

I seem to also have that (bad?) habit of thinking of others.

This car won't be going anywhere, if anything the engine quills get replaced first. I'm thinking I'll be able to rethread the bolt and pan while it's off.

I can't believe I am awake this early.

Nothing like a mental shift change. I don't like early days.
I'll take 3AM or 3PM day. This 7AM~8AM stuff is for the birds.

I love dealing with insurance, the Prowler sprung a leak while I was down in Argentina, called my insurance Wednesday and told they’d call back yesterday, no call.

So called the claims adjusters and was told denied because I was not in peril??? What the heck does that mean? After asking 3 times what does that mean I was getting angry and asked for a supervisor who spoke English. Adjuster said she spoke the queens English and she wouldn’t transfer me. Hung up and called back to have a second one tell me she wouldn’t talk to me because I had been disrespectful to the first one.

EDC- Sounds about like my day. For all the way to PR for the Military and my government credit card doesn't work at the rental car agency or the hotel. Earlier this week I verified the balance, now $1.

Will have to wait until Tuesday to get it fixed.
